Biotechnology
Introduction:
Biotechnology is based on the principle of disposal of harmful substances through microorganisms. Biotechnology is used especially for low concentrations of biodegradable pollutants. The resulting substances CO2 and H2O are harmless for the environment and because no other waste is produced, the technology is so-called waste free.
For biological technology two different pieces of equipment can be used – bio-filter and bio-column. The choice depends on the chemical composition and concentration of the emissions.
Biotechnology is used for odor removal (in some cases as a final step) as well as for removal of biodegradable substances (ammonia, acetone, styrene, etc.).
